Stacks Vinyl in Cerritos, CA / Saturday March 12th,
2005
32
competitors from around the South Bay converged at
Stack's Records in Cerritos once again for Vol. II
of Thaformula.Com's King of Kings Madden Tournament on Saturday March 12th. With everyone gunning for him,
reigning champ "ThaProblem" was back to
defend the title, his rep and of course, his
championship belt. Also on the line for 1st place was
$500 cash and a championship belt.
Tournament
DJ, DJ Lord Ron held the event down on the 1's and 2's
and spun Hip-Hop classics as blowout after blow out
went down in round 1. Only 3 of the 18 games in round
one were settled by 7 points or less.
"ThaProblem" and his Atlanta Falcons, proved
his win in Vol. I of the tournament wasn't a fluke
with a 42-7 blowout. The first round also saw some
shutouts, handed out by
"A-1","Roy," "Mike" and
"Dice."
In
round 2 the competition started to heat up.
"A-1" held on to advance with a
"10-3" win over "Chipmunk" (who
placed second in the last tournament),
"Mike" won the battle of the "D"
with a 6-0 victory over "Roy" and
"ThaProblem" pulled out a "W" with
a 14-3 victory over "Sean C."
"Sixx" and "Weevo" showed and
proved with shutouts (28-0 & 21-0) to advance them
to round 3.
The
conclusion of round 2 signaled the beginning of the
halftime MC battle. $100 and a championship belt were
on the line. 6 MC's stepped up to the mic. One 16 bar
verse was all you got, and the crowd decided who
advanced to the next round. Farm, Sixx, Poseydon and
Dice moved on to the semi-finals. MC's who brought
their crews may have gotten over on a better MC so
next time out expect a guest judge or two. The
semi-finals saw the closest battle of the day with
Poseidon and Dice. Even having slipped up a couple
times, a lot of heads thought Poseidon should have
won, but Dice pulled it out with a victory.
“Sixx” made quick work of Dice in the finals to
win the title, but sensing the crowd thought “Poseydon”
caught a raw deal, “Sixx” invited “Poseydon”
up to the stage for a chance at his title. Poseydon
may have shown a little too much respect to “Sixx”
for having him back up and didn’t go at him strong
enough, so “Sixx” pulled it out and took him the
$100 and the championship belt. It wasn’t
enough for Poseydon though, he took it out to the
parking lot, pulled up his ride and threw on
instrumentals and went line for line with anyone and
everyone.
Competition
was fierce in Round 3 of the Madden Tournament, MC
Battle champ “Sixx” pulled out a 20-18 win,
“Dice” squeezed by with a 14-10 win, “Kev”
sent “Mike” home and “ThaProblem” routed
“Weevo” 36-14. The semi-finals were an instant
replay for “Sixx” who once again like in the MC
Battle, defeated “Dice” to move onto the finals
against reigning champ “ThaProblem,” who sent Kev
home early to advance to the final game.
A
lot was on the line in the finals, both competitors
held a belt, and wanted a second one badly.
"Sixx" was feeling confident and challenged
"ThaProblem" to a side bet; winner takes
home the others stick (controller). The first half was
dead even. "ThaProblem" (Atlanta Falcons)
went ahead early with an impressive running game, but
"Sixx" (Washington Redskins) scored shortly
after to tie the game up. The score yo-yoed all half,
ending in a 21-21 halftime tie. The momentum swayed
when "ThaProblem" threw an interception
inside "Sixx's" 20-yeard line. The pick was
too much to overcome and "Sixx" went on to
take his second title of the day, along with a
combined grand total of $600 cash in his pocket, two
championship belts, and "ThaProblem's"
stick, which he "may use in the next
tournament."
